How amazing has the weather been this summer so far? ☀️

With the school holidays now here, the roads are a little quieter, which means we can whizz around even more efficiently delivering fresh fruit and veg to our wonderful customers. The fruit in particular this year has been va va voom! 😋

We’ve never been busier, and that’s all thanks to the incredible support of our customers and the dedication of our everyone that is part of The Fruit and Veg Man. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile, delivering not just fresh produce, but exceptional customer service every single day.

Thank you for keeping us so busy – we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Peace and Bananas. 🍌✌️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

After 6 years in business, tens of thousands of happy customers, two Luton Business of the Year awards, thousands of deliveries, market stalls, office fruit boxes, a Dobbies store, a Frosts store, and enough bananas to build a small yellow mountain…

We have finally received our first ever non-5-star Google review. 🎉🍌

Sadly, it wasn’t from an actual customer.

Instead, it appears a mysterious individual called “Dan Brown” emerged from the shadows of the internet to write what can only be described as a work of fiction. Coincidentally, this also appears to be the first and only review on their account. What are the chances? 🤔

The review claimed we buy all our produce from Asda. Which is news to us, our suppliers, our staff, and the thousands of customers who have watched us unloading produce from wholesale markets at silly o’clock in the morning for the last 6 years.

To be honest, we’re not even mad.

If anything, we’re quite proud. Every established business gets its first questionable 1-star review eventually. It feels a bit like a rite of passage.

The good news is that genuine customers continue to support us every day, and we’re incredibly grateful for every one of our hundreds of real reviews and loyal customers.

So thank you, Dan. You’ve given us a good laugh, some social media content, and a reminder that if this is the worst thing that happens this week, we’re doing alright.

Peace and bananas 🍌

🌈🍎 DID YOU KNOW? The colours of fruit aren’t just there to make your fruit bowl look pretty!

Every colour tells a different story. ❤️ Red fruits like strawberries and cherries are packed with antioxidants. 🧡 Orange fruits like oranges and mangoes are bursting with vitamin C and beta-carotene. 💛 Yellow fruits bring sunshine to your plate, 💚 green fruits like apples, grapes and kiwis are loaded with vitamins and fibre, while 💜 purple fruits such as plums and blackberries contain powerful plant compounds that help protect your body.

Nature really did create the ultimate rainbow! 🌈

The best part? Eating a variety of colourful fruit means you’re getting a wider range of nutrients, flavours and health benefits. So next time you’re shopping, don’t just grab your usual favourites – challenge yourself to eat the rainbow! 🍓🍊🍍🥝🫐🍇

At The Fruit and Veg Man, we’re proud to stock a colourful selection of fresh fruit every day at Dobbies. Whether you’re team strawberry, team mango or team grape, we’ve got something to brighten up your day! ☀️

Tell us in the comments: Which fruit colour is your favourite and why? 👇🍎🍋🍇🥭🍓

Mushrooms are more closely related to humans than they are to plants… 🤯

They breathe oxygen, don’t photosynthesise, and even store energy like we do.

So next time you eat mushrooms, remember… you’re basically eating a very distant cousin. 😳😂

Mushrooms are so weird they breathe oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide, and can make zombies… yet we’re worried about pineapples on pizza

Summer fruit season is definitely our favourite part of the year for fruit! I’m so proud of the team we are building to keep our amazing customers healthy and hydrated. With the explosion of all things A.I - I can say some things will never change - such as our commitment to human connection and interaction over something as simple and beautiful as fruit and veg. Life is so much better when we just talk. This photo was taken by one of our staff members, Ness - who has a masters in Art. I asked her to take a photo with the theme of “summer” and this was the result! Thanks Ness!
